Rudolphs Ride 2008 ?










Just to let everyone know , unfortunately Daniel and I won't be in the UK to organise this ride this year .

BUT everything is in place if someone would step forward to take it over for one year ... as we will be in the UK next Xmas .

The ride is fairly straightforward and is a great fund raiser for the group .
Its straight forward to organise and Bob the landlord is keen to run it again this year ......

So please if you could help please contact me at the following email
